btw, for anyone interested in the excellent Danish releases, I had a good experience with this place:
http://www.laserdisken.dk/html/index.dna
Ordering was a little confusing as it is not in English (I used translation webpages to figure it all out), but after I placed my order, a guy from the site emailed me in English and told me that if I need help with placing future orders to just email him and let him know.
here is the email he sent me:

Unfortunately the 4 disc set that had both parts 1 and 2 together is out of print and no longer available, but you can still easily order the two parts seperately.
Riget I (2-disc)
http://www.laserdisken.dk/html/visva...99406782395069
Riget II (2-disc)
http://www.laserdisken.dk/html/visva...99406860396062
Each is listed for 99 kroners which is like $16 USD.
99.00 DKK Denmark Kroner = 16.2319 USD United States Dollars
1 DKK = 0.163959 USD 1 USD = 6.09909 DKK
from: http://www.xe.com/ucc/convert.cgi
BUT, it ended up being a cheaper price than that once VAT or whatever taxes were taken out of the price at checkout, then the shipping charges pretty much balanced that out, so both sets were rather cheap in the end....probably cheaper than it will be to buy them both here from Koch when they come out, so people who can play PAL Region 2 dvds might want to consider getting these Danish discs.

For what is worth the Danish set is SUPERB and I won't worry about anything. Let me even go on record here and say that when all is said and done Koch Lorber will not be the winner here. PROVE ME WRONG!! and I will publicly apologize on this forum. With other words there is so much care in these Danish sets (design, package, audio/video quality, etc). that I can not worry about anything.
The above Scandinavian list needs updating, maybe we should bring it back up in the International forum.

I have no idea what the new Koch discs will be like, so you might want to wait and see before making a decision, of course unless you can watch R2 PAL dvds. In that case, it would be safe to sell the asian discs now, and then when the Koch discs come out, decide between those and the Danish discs (or just get the Danish discs now).
